Mozilla intends to unveil a minor update for its Firefox web browser later today, focusing on security weaknesses while also addressing multiple non-security-related concerns in the open-source platform.
The forthcoming update, Firefox 135.0.1, emerges roughly two weeks after the release of the previous major version, Firefox 135, on February 5, 2025. This security update will be progressively disseminated to the majority of Firefox installations. Users who want to accelerate the update process can manually search for it within the browser once it becomes available.

Mozilla has noted four non-security enhancements in its release documentation. This update resolves the following issues:
- A malfunction related to drop-down menus on certain sites that depended on particular “mousemove” event functions.

- A
- A
Not every user experienced these concerns, as their manifestation largely relied on individual usage habits.
It is advised that all Firefox users upgrade their browsers promptly, since this update also tackles security vulnerabilities.
Regarding the specific security issues being addressed, Mozilla has not yet disclosed this information for the minor update. Details are typically provided shortly after the official release. Updates will be shared as more information becomes available.
How to Manually Look for Updates in Firefox
Note: The manual update check feature will only operate after Mozilla officially releases Firefox 135.0.1.
To search for updates, please adhere to these steps:
- Access the Menu in Firefox.
- Select the Help option from the menu.
- Click on About Firefox.
The browser will reveal the currently installed version and will search for updates to automatically download any newer versions. The latest update will be installed automatically, requiring a restart of Firefox to finalize the process.
New users may obtain the most recent version of Firefox directly from Mozilla’s website.
Firefox 135.0.1 marks the first minor update for Firefox 135. The prior major release brought several appealing features to the stable versions of the browser, including support for translating Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean via its privacy-oriented translation system.
